Hackathons & Challenges
Working together in a team on a data science task, tackling real research problems and achieving relevant results - at a hackathon or datathon, young data science talents can demonstrate their know-how and at the same time establish important networks. HIDA organizes numerous hackathons and challenges (live, hybrid and online) and supports hackathons as a cooperation partner. We can help you with our expertise in planning, implementing and promoting your event.
Find out how we can support you with your Data Science Challenge here.

TEACH - Talk about Education Across Communities in Helmholtz
HIDA is a co-host of TEACH - an event where colleagues from different Helmholtz Centres and partner institutions come together to network and engage with education topics across disciplines. You can join in, too!
Past Events
Upcoming Event
TEACH - Talk about Education Across Communities in Helmholtz
The promotion of young scientists is a central component of the Helmholtz mission. Therefore, the development and management of training programmes and courses for PhD researchers, postdocs or research groups is particularly important. TEACH is an annual networking event for employees at Helmholtz Centres working in this context. It allows them to meet and network across centres and topics to share best practices and experiences, develop new ideas together, and share teaching and learning materials.
